Resume: Went 7-2 with a save. Struck out 120 batters in 65 innings. Opponents hit just .074 against him. Allowed just 17 hits — three doubles, 14 singles — all season. In his last two seasons, was 14-6 with 257 Ks in 146.1 IP. ... Solid athlete in both basketball and golf, too. ... Second-round draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays (49th overall). Signed for slot bonus of $1.128 million. ... Arrived on the varsity scene with a stellar freshman, sophomore seasons at Paxon before transferring to Sandalwood. Brother, David Reid-Foley, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Dodgers in 2013.

The relationship with his brother was particularly competitive, something Sean attributes to his success. He used that to fuel his drive in Little League, high school and club. and carries that mindset into pro baseball, too.

“It just made me be a competitor like I am today,” said Reid-Foley, who was selected in the second round of the First-Year Player Draft by the Blue Jays on June 5 and signed with the team the following week.

Separated by four and a half years, the two were always apart in organized baseball. That didn’t mean they were separated outside of it. Sean always found a way into competition with his brother and his brother’s friends, even if that meant some tough afternoons in the process.

And there were plenty of them.

“He always used to come out in the cul-de-sac and play and we didn’t really take it easy on him,” said David Reid-Foley, who starred at catcher for Paxon during its state semifinal trip in 2009 and is now a pitcher in the Dodgers farm system.

“He always wanted to be better than everybody else. When it’d get too competitive for him, he would go inside and complain. Our dad would tell him, if you’re going to complain, you don’t get to play with them. So he’d just come back out. You could tell when he was younger that when he grew up, he was going to be really competitive.”

Playing at a higher level early raised the bar for Sean.

As a freshman at Paxon, he was already putting himself on the radar. By the following season in 2012, Sean had begun bolstering his name in baseball. It helped that his fastball was in the 90-mph range and that he already developed other pitches, the slider, changeup and curve.

“We saw him at a tournament his freshman year and he came out and faced our three, four, five hitters,” said Sandalwood coach Ben Guzzone. “And he struck out all three, as a ninth grader. ... He was nasty in ninth grade. I’m like, ‘who’s this kid,’ oh my gosh. He was unbelievable then. Every pitch he threw, he threw with meaning.”

David Reid-Foley knew about Sean’s development in baseball by following the stats and getting updates from his father. But in college at Mercer, David had to follow it from afar. Not until last summer did David see for himself just how much his little brother had turned into a big-time baseball player.

“When I went and saw him in Jupiter, I was almost blown away just by how mature he was on the field,” David Reid-Foley said. You could see that he was a true pitcher, if that makes sense. He’s very, very mature for his age. You could tell he had the right mindset on the mound.”

Sean dominated area high school batters as a senior. He allowed just 17 hits all season and averaged 1.8 strikeouts an inning. Every time that he was on the mound turned into a must-see event. And even as Sean Reid-Foley prepared to begin the long grind of professional baseball with the Blue Jays in Dunedin, he still reflects back to those neighborhood lessons while growing up as some of the most memorable in his life.

“I never tried to lose to him,” he said of his brother, “even though I always did.”
